📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Found A Way. Thanks to a late 11-0 run in the game’s last two minutes, Boise State men’s basketball grinded out a 69-64 victory against North Texas for the team’s 17th straight win at The X. Chibuzo Agbo put up a stellar performance with 27 points on the night on 6-9 shooting from beyond the arc. Tyson Degenhart had himself another solid night with 19 points as well as three assists and a trio of steals.

The Broncos will look to continue the momentum against Western Oregon on Saturday at 2 p.m.

🔼 Region Recognition. Boise State volleyball standout Paige Bartsch has been named an AVCA All-Pacific North Region Honorable Mention honoree— the first time Bartsch has received AVCA postseason recognition. She becomes the fifth Bronco in program history to earn all-region honors, and the first since the 2021 season.

As one of the most dominant players in the MW, the junior finished the season leading the conference in eight statistical categories including total kills, total points and service aces per set.

🔼 Up Next. Boise State women’s basketball will take on Cal State Bakersfield on Wednesday in ExtraMile Arena. Head coach Gordy Presnell picked up his 200th home win as the coach of Boise State with a 70-53 win against UC Davis last Wednesday.
